Worthless pound

[Francko]

Ok, as the trend continues England will soon be worth nothing.

You'd have to call the charity to have someone picking up your stuff as it's not even worth getting it for free.

A pity I do have an expensive family to maintain... if I could only save a few swiss francs a month...

So my debt is worth less.

Perhaps leaving my contract in Geneva in June was not a wise move since the pound has gone from about 1.7 to around 1.53 - that's about £50 a day extra because of the exchange rate!

It's still gaining vs the USD as per the current "trend"

$1.6 in sight

The ups and downs are all froth.

But long term I'd rather be in the UK's position than the Eurozone.

We may be in trouble, but not deep enough to consider putting an Italian in charge! We could probably have used your help whilst we were giving the Empire away though..........might have speeded the process up.

You mean like bending over into opened train window in order to open the door from the outside when the train stops at the station, that kind of position?

Couple of things (and I am being serious for a change)

1) Those that enslave us need us to keep on working. Currencies may come and go, but the financial system will never truly melt down, just possibly be replaced. Global currency being the next step (around 8-10 years is my prediction.

2) Unless you are working for Wall St or Goldmans you cannot know what is going to happen. The markets are all manipulated.

So in short, stop worrying, start living, make the best of what you have and think yourself lucky for what you have. Those that enslave us know that by keeping things cushy we will not make too much of a fuss. In fact this is born out by the fact that we are more prepared to winge about someone getting unfairly getting kicked off the X factor than lobby parliament by the tens of thousands about "unfair" changes in child benefit, for example.

Prolly get flamed for posting this, but if you think about it, we've never had it so good.

As always, I have to be careful what and how I say things.....

In fact, just look for stories in the financial news about 'competitive devaluations' or 'currency wars'.

Nicely put.
